ELECTION COMMITTEES—(This Day), This morning the committees appointed to inquire into the validity of the Berwick-upon-Tweed and Lisburn elec tions assembled for the second time. In each case evidence was taken with a view to show that the agents of the sitting member—Mr. Cargill in the case of Berwick-upon- Tweed, and MrjVernon, in Lisbure —were returned by means of bribery. The only noticeable feature connected with the proceedings this morning was the pre sence of a large number of women—some of them with babies in their arms, who had been brought from Ireland to give evidence. No result may be expected in either case until Tuesday or Wednesday. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) His Honour disposed of a short list of causes, the only case of the slightest interest being BE LTJSCOMBE. This bankrupt had carried on business at the Thatched House, Exchange-court, Strand, and the important feature in the case was, that the debts were only £33 6s. 3d., and the assets realised amounted to £125. It appeared from the statement of Mr. W. R. Griffith, the bankrupt's counsel, that the bankrupt had been grossly imposed upon as to the value of the place, and had brought an action for the false representation, and recovered £l2O damages, which had been paid into court. The bankrupt having taken proceed ings in bankruptcy, had lost £195, which he paid on going in. His Honour granted an immediate order of discharge to bankrupt of the balance, and also on the payment of fees, which amounted, after payment of court fees, to X4l 14s sd. RE PAZEY. In this case, which was adjourned a few days since, his Honour intimated yesterday that judgment would not be delivered until after Easter, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUEL ROBBERY.—William Thrift, a lad, was charged as follows ; Mary Ann Emery, a widow, living In Hayes-court, Newport-market, said that about 11 o'clock, while return ing from borrowing some money to pay her rent, she was nearly knocked down by a cab in Coventry-street, and the prisoner and another man helped her to a doorway. On recovering-herself she gave them some drink. The pri soner then walked home with her, she holding her purse in her hand in her pocket till she got near Newport-market, when she withdrew her hand from her pocket. The pri soner still accompanied and left her at her door. She sat up ironing for some hours, and on going to her pocket to get some money to buy bread for her children, she found her purse, containing eight half-crowns, gone. James Stephens, 24 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody that morning at the place where he lived, he said that if the prosecutrix did not press the charge he would give her the money back again. Mr. K nox remanded the prisoner, THAMES. THE GOOD NATURED IRISHMAN.—John Yealey, a car. man, in the service of Mr. Hickmott, builder, in the Mile. end-road, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with committing a 'violent and dangerous assault on Martin Reardon, an Irishman, of 133, Great Suffolk. • street, Southwark. The complainant has received a very serious injury which will affect him during the remainder of his life. His nose was bound up with surgical plaisters. The certificate of Mr. Robert Hunter, house surgeon of the London Hospital, stated that Reardon was admitted there on Monday last with a compound fracture of the nasal bones. On Monday last the prosecutor was driving a horse and cart along High street, Whitechapel, towards London. The prisoner was proceeding in the same direction in charge of a wag gon and two horses. He was riding sideways on the leading horse of his team. The off wheel of Reardon's (prosecutor) curt got close to the prisoner's toes, but did not touch them. The prisoner immediately struck Reardon across the face with the butt end of the handle of a heavy cart whip, and smashed his nose. The poor fellow was knocked backwards and became insensible. He bled from the nostrils all the remainder of the day and all Monday night. The whip handle was ferruled and very heavy. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, on the part of the defendant, said Reardon's statement was substantially correct, and no one could regret the unfortunate occurrence more than the prisoner, who struck the complainant in the heat of passion. The prisoner stopped his team, and assisted Reardon into a doctor s shop. The blow was intended for the complain ant's back, not his face. The prisoner was riding a very dangerous and vicious horse, and the complainant's cart came so near to it that he was afraid the horse would be injured. The prisoner was a steady, sober man, with an excellent character, and his master would see that Reardon was compensated. The horse was unmanageable, end would not go without it was ridden, Mr. Paget thought it was a most novel and extraordinary proceeding for a man to ride an unmanageable horse side ways. The prisoner had been guilty of a most violent and unjustifiable assault. He would allow the parties to come to some arrangement. The prisoner was unable or unwilling to make compensa tion, and was remanded. When brought up again he was bailed. It was now announced that a compromise bad been effected. Mr. Paget did not want to know the terms, and fined the prisoner a shilling. Yealey was without one, and the Irish man lent him one to pay the penalty, and said he forgave the prisoner from the bottom of his heart, and had not the least animosity against him. The doctor said he would not be able to return to his work for three weeks, and he had only asked the prisoner to pay £3, his three weeks' salary, which he had consented to do. MARKETS--This Day.

In shipping yarns only very limited business has been done. There have been some offers, but at prices too low to meet with consideration from spinners. We have heard of one or two contracts for 40's for delivery this month and in April, at a moderately fair price, but gene. rally buyers appear more disposed to operate where there are available stocks than where goods have to be produced. There are a good number of orders in the hands of merchants, which they have not confi dente enough to place at present prices. If they could be sure that yarns had reached the lo west point they would no doubt give out such order, but an im pression still prevails that all descriptions of cotton goods will continue to decline, and purchasers limit their demands to such only as are more pressingly required. Home-trade yarns are quoted the same as on Tuesday, and if there is any change it is in favour of buyers. In cloth the same dull feeling prevails to day as on Tuesday. There is almost a win: absence of business for all markets; and though the continued decline of prices is attracting the attention of buyers they appear quite as disinclined to do ousi ness as they have been at any time during this month past. The consequence of this inactivity is that prices are again somewhat easier, though i❑ the absence of business to test them it would be difficult to give reliable quotations. Messrs. Pender and Co., in their semi-monthly circular for India of Wednesday, say the dulness reported at the close of last month has gradually increased, and during the past week has amounted to positive stagnation. They add that " quotations are now irregular and rather lower, though comparatively little afftcted in consequence of the smallness of stocks and the moderate extent of production." They report that i❑ Calcutta goods, during the past fortnight, only a few sales of light fabrics are reported, while the sales for China are trifling. For Bombay business limited-39 inch 511 b. gray shirtings, 12s 9.1 to 13s 3d ; 71b, 17s to 18s; wide shirtings dull at 2s 6d to 2s 71d per lb; long cloths nominal at 2s 3d to 2s 4d per lb. India yarns ld per lb. down in the last fortnight. NOTTINGHAM, 11th.—There was a moderate de mand for lace yarns at this Exchange-ball to-day, and late rates were well maintained. The change in the value of hosiery yarns was unimportant Silks as before. For brown nets the demand we very fiat, but the rates of last week must be quoted WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY OF A HORSE 'CLOTH.--Matthew Slaney, a boy about 12 years of age, was charged with stealing a horse cloth from a cab in Tothill •street, West • minster. William Kennedy, a little boy, said that he was in Tothill-street on Thursday, and saw the prisoner and an oilier boy watching a cab that a little girl was minding. After walking about for some time the other boy covered the prisoner by getting between him and the girl while ht took the cloth. He ran away with it. Witness told the owner of the cloth, and the boy was chased but lost sight of, Maria Lambert, a person living at 48, Tothill-street, said her husband's cab was standing at the door on Thurs day, and she looked out of the window and saw prisoner take the cloth off the horse and run away with it while another covered him. She ran down stairs and pursued him, but lost sight of him. On Friday morning she again saw him, with the cloth under his arm going about from place to place to try and sell it. She pursued him, and he again escaped her, upon whioh sbe gave information to the police. Sergeant Edmund Buckley, 17 B, proved apprehending the prisoner, from information received that morning, in Old Pye-street, Westminster. He was taken to the station, and witness placed him with other boys, and he was iden tified by Kennedy and Mrs. Lambert. He said to witness, "It is not my fault; a bigger boy told me to take it.'! Mr. Selfe asked him what he had to say ? Prisoner said that he had taken the cloth, but had been incited by a man and boy to do it. They had sold the cloth, but had not given him any share of the money. Ile was remanded till Thursday for the sergeant to make inquiries. CONSUMPTION OF COAL.—At the last sitting of the Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, ➢i. Dalloz gave the following interesting particulars on the consumption of coal :—ln 1789 France consumed 500,000 tons of coal, 220,000 of which were imported ; in 1811 the quantity was 773,000 tons; in 1830 it rose to 1,800,000 tons, and in 1847 to 7,600,000 tons, 2,500,000 of which were im ported. During the four following years—those of the Republic—there was a considerable diminution, the extraction in France being reduced to 4,000,000 tons, and the importation to 2,100,000 tons. In 1853 the consumption rose to 9,400,000 tons, and in 1859 to 12,400,000 tons. In 1863, the third year after the Conventions of 1860, the quantity consumed was 15,C00,000 tons, 5,200,000 of which were imported, showing the immense increase of manufactures during a period of tranquillity and order. At the commencement of the pre sent century England produced 13,000,000 tons; in 1838 the quantity rose to 26,000,000 tans. England alone pro duces much more than half the coal extracted throughout the world. The production of coal in the United States is valued at 15,000,000 tons; that of Belgium at 9,000,000; the Zoliversin produced upwards of 14,000,000 tons in 1862 ; so that, if England be omitted, France is one of the richest coal-producing countries in the world. The production of coal is intimately con nected with that of iron, in which article England again holds tho first rank, In 1789 France only produced 69,000 tens of cast iron. This quantity rose to 115,000 tons in 1812 ; in 1830, to 317,773 tons of cast iron and 237,379 of wrought iron; in 1847 the figures were respeo tively 602,772 and 376,686; in 1850 the production bad fallen to 406,000 tens of cast iron and 246,000 tons of wrought iron. A new rise occurred immediately after the Republic; in 1859 France produced 856,000 tons of cast iron and 520,000 of wrought iron ; and in 1563 is vaguely stated at the enormous figure of 1,180,000 tons of cast iron and 705,500 tons of wrought iron. The production of Eng land is nearly 4,000,0,0 tons of cast iron; that of the 7.ollverein, 591,593 tons; of Sweden, 143,000; of Austria, 270,000; and of Belgium, 161,000.—Galignani. A HARDY VENTURE.—A few days back a fishing smack named the John Bull, of 26 tons burden, left Yar mouth port for Constantinople with a general cargo. She has been purchased for Mr. Norton, of the latter place, and had on board four experienced fishermen of Yarmouth, being intended for the trawling. trade in the Black Sea. A largo number of the seafaring population collected on the quay to witness her departure and wish her success on hea venturcEme voyage, POULTRY.

THE PRIEST AND THE CONSTABLE.--011 the 9th of December last a Protestant constable named Wiggins, stationed at Dundrum, in the county of Tipperary, then almost in a dying state, sent for a Roman Catholic priest, and the Rev. W. Corcoran went at once to the police barracks to receive him into his Church and admini• ster to him the sacra ments. Sub-Inspector Boyce , in command of the station, refused to admit the priest till 'le had communicated with his superior officer, because Wiggins had been a Protestant all his life, and had just been visited by the Protestant clergyman, and he seemed 0 - o be then in too weak a state to understand what he was about. Mr. Corcoran made his way intc the sick man's room, but was obliged to withdraw immediately, at Mr. Boyce's request. Aided by the man's wift and a Roman ijatholie policeman he sub sequently endeavoured to force his way upstairs, but was firmly though gently repulsed. The priest was, however, freely admitted next day, and the con stable died a member of the Roman Catholic Church. The temporary exclusion of the priest caused a great deal of popular excitement in the neighbourhood, and Mr. Corcoran made a formal complaint to the Government against Mr. Boyce. The Lord-Lieutenant ordered a caurt of inquiry, which lasted about a fortnight, and the result has just been made public. It came to the conclusion, from the evidence, that sub-inspector Boyce had unwarrantably obstructed Mr. Corcoran in the discharge of his duty as a clergyman, and denied to the deceased constable liberty to receive the religious consolation he sought for; but, taking the entire report and the evidence adduced before it, Lord Carlisle thinks the conduct of Boyce may fairly be attributed to an error of judgment rather than to any perverse or improper motive. His Excellency, however, is of opinion that he is of opinion that he is " deserving of some censure" for the course he took in even temporarily excluding the priest from the constable after he had expressed his determination to become a Roman Catholic. He has, therefore, given orders to the Inspector General of Constabulary that the raanded, and removed from t s h h e a r l l s be ta t i o r n e i Sub-InspectorDun ru m t o another WHY WE SHOULD EAT T RUFFLES.—What the spices of the tropics did for the act of cookery towards the close of the 15th and first half of the 16th cen turies, the rediscovery of the truffle has done for it in the , o of introduced e th e reign pu Duke et last half of the 18th and in the present century.

The waters of the Seine have reached the height of 2 . 1 metres by the Neale at the Pont Royce Antiquity of Man. To complete the subject treated of in our number of Thursday, we must notice a paper by M. de Vibraye sent in to the Academy of Sciences at the same time as that of Messrs. Lartet and Christy. M. de Vibraye, while confirming some of the state ments of those gentlemen from his own observation, adds some new facts of peculiar interest. We have seen primitive man armed with flints; M. de Vibraye shows that although he had no knowledge of metallurgy, he was well aware of the existence of metal, although the drift strata are not me talliferous. in the lower bed of the grottoes of Arey (Yonne), containing the bones of the ex tinct Ursus spelcsus, or fossil bear, our author found a fragment of hydrated iron, exactly si milar to a specimen discovered in a cromlech at La Birochire, near Pornic (Loire-Inferieure; the same bed also contained a piece of peroxide of man ganese. Two similar specimens were brought to light in the Fournean du Diable at Bourdeilles (a reindeer stratum) ; and lastly, a small mass of pure copper, almost entirely covered with a coating of green carbonate of copper, and cubic crystals of protoxyde of the same metal was dug up in the drift of Laugerie, in the commune of Tayac. M. de Vibraye is decidedly of opinion that some com merce existed in those remote times, because the various manufactured articles found in the drift often lie together with sea-shells, which could only have come from the coast, the drift being of too modern formation to admit of any other explanation of the circumstance. Our author also mentions the discovery of a human atlas (the first vertebra of the neck) amidst an accumulation of bones of the hyena and other extinct species; a fact which tends to carry man's first appearance upon earth several thousand years farther back than any historical record in existence. Among other sin gular discoveries we must not forget to mention a small statue representing a woman, and carved out of an elephant's tusk—a wonderful feat, consider ing that it could only have been achieved with flint implements. The drift is sometimes found to cover places where fires had been made, and the ashes and cinders revealing the fact lie on blocks of limestone foreign to the district, and evidently chosen ex pressly on'aocount of their power of resisting the effects of beat. M. de Vibraye does not hesitate to admit the existence of man during the geological drift period, and considers the question definitively set al reet.e—Galignani. Governor and Mrs. T. T.

They do not allow the ball to be caught or carried, nor one player to be held, struck, or pushed by another. They have no cross-bar, and in their matches only 11 players are allowed on each side. Their game is at the head of what is called the close system. They commence a game with a bully in the middle of the field, One player on each side, chosen for his skill and speed in running, is placed at the goals to guard them. Two others act as cornerers, to keep the ball in the bullies. The other eight form themselves into a compact wall, two deep, standing shoulder to shoulder, with heads bent down and hands on knees, each side facing the opponent's goal. The ball is placed between these two lines at their toes by one of the cornerers. Then they push and struggle, each side trying to bear the other down, and drive the ball through the ranks. With sides of equal strength, these struggles are often protracted. When the bully is broken up, all is fair kicking at the ball, but every. player must keep on the right side, and must avoid sneak ing—that is, kicking the ball along with less than three of his opponents before him. A goal so sneaked does not count. A goal is counted where the ball passes between two poles 11 feet wide. Whenever a ball is kicked out at the sidelines, it is brought straight in, and a bully is formed on the spot. When it passes the goal-line there is a race to touch it. If one of the side to whom the goal belongs first touches it, it is carried to the edge and kicked off into the middle of the ground again; but if an oppo • nent touches it first, the grand feature of the Eton game ensues : the ball is plaoed one yard in front of the centre of the place marked out by the goal-sticks of the side where the ball was touched. The players close up, each side forming a semicircle, with their strongest men in front. They meet each other, the ball being in the centre of those, and then push, kick, and struggle, till the weaker side gives way and goes down, the other side falling on the top of them, and the ball being somewhere beneath. In this position they carry on the battle, and continue to writhe and struggle, trying on the one side to creep the goal and drag the ball with them, on the other to drive it away. These struggles sometimes continue for 10 minutes. Players get exhausted, and creep out; wipe the beads of perspiration from their faces; and plunge down again with renewed vigour, till at last the ball is dragged through the goal or got away, when every body gets up and declares it very jolly,—Chambers's Jour nal, New and Improved Series.

Yesterday the Oxonians rowed for the first time over the course, from Putney to Mortlake, destined for this interesting event on the 19th inst., but never did a crew make its debut upon the water under more disadvantageous circumstances. The wind was blowing half a gale from the westward, and, meeting and flanking the flood, rendered the water so ex tremely rough and lumpy, that had not the oars been tied into the rowlocks, they could scarcely have been kept at work. There was a very large assemblage of old University and other gentlemen, including a number of Churchmen, present to witness this the first trial over the course. The crew got into their boat at.the London Rowing Club boat house at a little before 4, and proceeded down to opposite the Star and Garter, where they turned and prepared to go off. The start, under the difficulties that they had to encounter, *as exceedingly good, but the labour for the first 300 or 400 yards was so severe as to create a great amount of irregularity, and with aught but the high action of the oars incidental to the Oxford style it would have been impossible to have cleared them from the water, and it was generally supposed that they would abandon their in tention of proceeding the whole distance, but they gallantly Pursued their way, although momentarily covered with spray, and with their boat at last waterlogged, their wash break forward having been carried away by the roughness of the water, and arrived at Mortlake thoroughly drenched a few seconds under 27 minutes, with a bad tide. The crews, with their present weights, are as follows : OIFORD. st lb C. P. Roberts, Trinity ........ W. Awdry, Balliol F. H. Kelley, University J. C. Parson, Trinity W. B.

Archer, Corpus, (cox.) 6 6 It will bo seen by the above that several alterations have taken place in the Cambridge boat since the crew was last noticed. They have been throughout the week training at Ely, where they have had to encounter very severe weather. It has been arranged that they shall come to Putney this evening, and it is expected their first turn over the course will be on Monday afternoon. Betting is 7t04 on Oxford, and is brisk. MR. BROOKS, 111.1',—We (Dorset Chronicle) regret to announce the serious illness of Robert Brooks, Esq., M.P. for Weymouth, who has been c on fi ned to his room for the last ten days; but we are happy to add that he is now rapidly recovering, and his medical at tendants give every hope that in the course of a few days he will be enabled to leave his room and attend, as usual, to his Parliamentary duties. -His illness at the present moment was the more to be regretted, as it prevented him from voting in favour of Colonel Edwards's motion, and against the insult put upon the members of the Yeomanry Cavalry by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Govern ment, and the Liberal party, in obedience to the orders of the Manchester clique. Floury, Who was s ome months since tried Lieutenant f themurder of a wa s h erwoman in the Pas or sage de Cherbourg, and con d emned to twenty years' im prisonment with milit ary degradation and surveillance of the police, but whose sentence:was annulled on an infor mality in receiving part of the evidence, has just been tried again by the Military Tribunal. The evidence given was exactly to the same effect as on the first trial. The Tribunal found the prisoner guilty with extenuating cir cumstances, and condemned him to only ten years' impri sonment, instead of twenty, with military degradation and surveillance of the police as on the first trial. Hampstead, Midland, and North-Western Charing-cross Junction Railway, The joint committee of the Houses of Lords and Commons having reported that this bill should be allowed to proceed, during the present session of Parliament, the owners, lessees, and occupiers of property to be pulled down, or injuriously affected, to form new streets from the Thames Embankment, at the foot of Villiers-street, across the Strand, and through the parishes of St. Martin-in -the- Fields and St. Giles-in-the-Fields, to Tottenham -court ' road, • held a meeting yesterday, in St. Martin's Hall, to consider what steps should be taken by the parties inte rested to protect themselves from injury to their property, and loss of their trade, during the progress, or on the com pletion of the works, and to ensure adequate compensation for the same, and for that purpose to obtain insertion in the bill of such clauses and provisions as may be necessary. The chair was taken at tl.ree o'clock by Mr. Thomas Woolley Marshall, one of the churchwardens of St. Martin in-the Fields. The CIIAIRMIN said they had met that afternoon to take into their consideration a matter to many of them of vital importance, viz., the destruction and obstruction that would be occasioned if Par!iament gave its sanc tion to the proposed new railway. Whilst railway way interests were well organised, the unfortunate per sons whose property was required in the majority of in stances were totally helpless owing to their union. They had all heard of the scheme which would so interfere with their property and business, and without they took some very active steps they would be left totally at the mercy of the railway directors. He did not want anything but what was right, and with less than that he did not for on e moment intend to rest satisfied. There were about 47 railway directors amongst the members of the House of Lords, p ai d 157 in the House of Commons, so they were well enou g h represented, but what was the position of the owners of property in the line of a proposed railway ? Why they were totally uneared for, and the only way they had of making themselves heard was by opposing the measure in committee. He thought it would be perfectly useless after; the report of the joint committee of both Houses of Parliu meat, to attempt to oppose the scheme which would uo largely interfere with business, but they could fight for their interests inch by inch in the committee, and that was the course he thought the inhahitants of the two parishes had better pursue. He did not want, as he said before, anything unreasonable, but what he did say was that the railway directors should pay a sovereign for every sovereign's worth of the property they took, (Hear, hear.) Mr. DANGERFIELD then, at the request of the chairman, explained the exact position of the matter, and the various ways of obtaining the insertion of protecting clauses or alteration of others by the parliamentary committee, which the parishioners could adopt, A number of the most influential gentlemen in the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields then addressed the meeting, after which it was determined to make a most vigorous opposition to some of the clauses of the bill in committee, and a number of gentlemen were selected to act on behalf of the meeting in obtaining the necessary protection for those whose property or business was likely to be interfered with by the railway. During the meeting it was stated that no less that 400 properties in the parish of St. Martin's-in-the -Fields and St. Giles's, involving the interests of more than 1,000 families, would be required by the parties making the pro posed new railway. The meeting, which was a most numerous and deter mined one, then separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. LONDON GAZETTE.—Last Evening. FOREIGN OFFICE, MARCH 8.
